September 12, 2003|Valerie Hersch

Temple Adath Or, a temple that is part of the Jewish Renewal Movement, announces the addition of Rabbi Marc Labowitz, who is the eldest son of Rabbis Shoni and Phillip Labowitz. The husband-wife rabbi team are among the founders of Adath Or, whose congregation is based in Cooper City.

Together with his father, the new rabbi will conduct what organizers describe as a "highly enlightened service" celebrating the Sabbath at 7:30 p.m. today at Unity Church of Hollywood, 2740 Van Buren St.

The Jewish Renewal Movement is characterized by its followers as having a focus on inner spiritual growth through the study of Torah, Kaballah and other spiritual traditions and rituals as well as through dancing, singing and prayer.

Adath Or High Holy Day observances will be held Sept. 27 and 28, and Oct. 5 and 6 at the Westin Hotel on Cypress Creek Road and I-95 in Fort Lauderdale.
